Such stories served as the inspiration for the tenth track entitled "48 To Go". There’s the cultures and the different people you meet living life.You have to live life, you have to have experiences in order to be able to write stories.” Joe King explained "You pull from different locations and places. So if a change in approach means looking towards greener pastures, then The Fray stand stubbornly within their established empire – and they deliver one hell of a defense." There is just this overwhelming presence of worthwhile material – and a sheer surplus of catchiness – that enables Scars & Stories to unravel gradually and gracefully. The result is a record that, while admittedly comfortable in its lateral movement, continually improves until you feel like you have grown with it. The record starts strong and gets stronger, with some of its best offerings coming at the back end of the album’s run time. Every element of the band’s back catalogue can be found here, polished and presented just differently enough to give long time fans a reason to get excited. "Scars & Stories may be nothing more than a pleasant retread of The Fray’s established style, but it does a commendable job of delivering quality in lieu of novelty. That song is really just about the mystery of why we're all here and what's holding it all together, you know?" During an interview Slade mentions that ".they're looking for the God Particle, basically, the particle that holds it all together. In addition the eight track on the album titled "Munich" follows the same mode of inspiration, as it is inspired by a particle collider in Switzerland. Not to sound cliché, but we all as people build these walls that don't really come down until someone comes into our lives, tears them down, and says, 'Enough!'" I think that's how our relationships can be sometimes. They're both German, but in a sense, they were as far from each other as they could possibly be. "We wrote that song about The Berlin Wall and the division it represented in regards to one unified city becoming two cities still under the covering of a country. Īlso the song the sixth track titled "1961", personifies the Berlin Wall, as two brothers that are at odds with each other, but it makes you wonder about the third brother mentioned, America: In the midst of their conversation she held his hand, and he could feel a pulse, but was unable to tell if it was his pulse or hers. Slade talked about his encounter with an expatriate woman who was talking about the genocides in Rwanda. For instance, the first single " Heartbeat" was inspired by a trip to Rwanda. The band wrote over 70 songs, and narrowed it down to what they hoped were the, most of which were heavily influenced by their travels abroad. In addition, the band made the single "The Fighter" available for download.ĭuring an interview with Vevo the band revealed that they used part of the album's budget to travel and see the world before writing and recording songs for Scars and Stories. On Decemthe deluxe edition of the album became available for pre-order on iTunes, featuring 5 bonus tracks all covers. The album was made available to pre-order on Octoon the band's website. The album artwork was revealed on Novemfollowing the video premiere of the first single, Heartbeat. They are not like wounds necessarily, but they're still kind of a road map of where you been, and sometimes kinda point to where you want to go." "We've been through a lot of stuff personally, and as band we're still together, and I think we like the idea of scars you know, because they're healed you know. He went on to explain that each of the band members have been through a lot of hardships, but collectively they were able to pull through. During a performance at the Hard Rock cafe in Boston, Massachusetts, Isaac Slade stated that the album Scars & Stories was named after a B-side that did not make it onto the third record.
